Okay, the following in a scene from my Chrono Trigger movie script, our heroes first enter the future, they wander about and encounter an acid monster (called the Acid Phantom in this movie) and are saved by a group of scavengers who live in the Trann Dome. you can read the first part in my other post, but this is merely me asking if the film could do with or without this sequence.

The 3 open the exit and see the hell that their world has become.

Lucca: My god….

Dust storms and bone crushing hail ravage the land. All that remains of the world is numerous destroyed cities and domes, just outside the Bangor dome is a skeleton grasping some wires on a broken console. The skeleton looks to have suffered severe head trauma. The Hale is dying down.

Marle: Poor guy, he was just trying to find shelter.

Lucca: Looks like something fell out the sky and crushed his skull, I would assume he died instantly.

Crono sees a trashed car, he goes over to check it out and sees the bones of one adult, and 2 kids. Each with bullet wounds. He waves to Marle and Lucca and they come over. Marle has tears coming out of her eyes and Lucca opens the car door.

Lucca: Seems like this was his wife, and kids. I guess she just lost hope and didn’t want the kids to suffer. I need to get to a laboratory of some sort; hopefully there is a gate around here somewhere because this place is really depressing. Maybe there’s another standing dome somewhere amongst this ruined world…I also want to know what the hell happened here. Lets go.

Crono,Lucca and Marle begin to walk south, we see a lot of disturbing imagery wrecked cars, bodies being picked clean by rats, the bodies of creatures that may have once been human but are no longer that. Broken swords, guns and axes are strewn across the wretched fruitless soils. What used to be the roads and sidewalk are now gravel and dust. We see a few bloody sleeping bags, smashed robot parts and a few tattered ponchos and coats.

Lucca: *shivering* Crono, grab those before we freeze to death.

Crono lifts the clothes up, and out from under it appears a strange creature that is liquidy and has a terrifying face. It spits acid at Crono, he blocks it with his sword, but the sword melts. Lucca goes to hit it with her Hammer, but the being grabs it and whacks Lucca in the head with it. Marle fires her Crossbow at it, but the bolts go right through, the thing jumps at Marle and expands, but a man comes to the rescue and whacks it with some sort of baton, the baton is seemingly electrified and zaps the creature, causing it to explode.

Man: Come on let’s get out of here!

Crono grabs Marle and the Man picks up the unconscious Lucca, they run through the now thickening dust.

Marle: How do you know where you’re going in all this dust?

Man: Well, this is either the way to the Trann Dome, or we are going to end up in the ocean, the sun is going down we have to hurry.

The man is met by 4 of his friends, they are all wielding various weapons, mostly makeshift, we then see the Trann Dome entrance. More men wait near the entrance, an older man with a rusty revolver opens the doors to the dome.

Old Man: Hurry up! The storm is gonna get bad!

Two of the Dwellers get blind sighted by a strange mutant, it is 8 feet tall and looks wretched. It lets out a terrible screech and grabs one of the men by the throat, the 2nd man starts hacking away at the mutant with a fire axe, but it does nothing. The Mutant begins to salivate and is about to take a bite out of the poor soul, Crono sees this and rushes to the aid of the men, Crono then jumps up and jams his damaged sword into the arm of the beast, causing it to release the dweller. The dweller runs away, so does Crono but not without signaling the second dweller to run.

Dweller 2: No! This ones mine!

The dweller goes to swing at the mutant, but something grabs its weapon, a second mutant arrives at the scene. The Dweller lets go of the axe and runs away, but it is met by a third mutant that catches him, and many more are seen in the distance, the Dweller lets out a terrified scream as the other two mutants close in, grabbing him by each limb. The last image we get is the mutants fighting over the man like children over a stuffed animal, the door to the dome closes and we hear a loud scream of agony.

Old Man: Quick, arm the sentries!

The man who saved Crono, Lucca and Marle hits a switch and we hear machine gun fire coming from the outside.

Man: I just hope we jury rigged those things well enough to last the night.

Lucca comes to, Marle helps her up. Crono is seen looking through the piles of scrap metal to find a replacement for his sword.

Old Man: Hey, you aren’t a member of the Trann Dome, you are not free to take weapons from us.

Man: Hey, back off Dad! This kid sacrificed his blade to save Max, let him take one piece of scrap to defend himself.

Old Man: John we can’t be giving away our resources like this. The kid is a hero and a remarkable Swordsman, but I am sorry, we cannot spare any of our scrap.
John: Hmph, stubborn old man.

Old Man: Hey, you don’t like it why don’t you just go to the Arris Dome and sit with Doan.

John runs out.

Old Man: I’m sorry; my name is Kyle by the way and thank you for helping us. I wish I could spare some scrap for ya, but we are almost down to stripping pieces from the structure here.

Lucca: Maybe we can trade?

Kyle: Trade? What do you have that we don’t we have some old guns, swords and other weapons. We are more than fit to defend ourselves. Water is rationed and thanks to the Enertrons we don’t need food, not that there is anything other than human meat, we won’t stoop down to the level of the Bangor Dome inhabitants. The only reason we left this place today was because our radar picked your movement up.

Lucca searchs for her hammer, which Crono picked up for her on the way over. She then loads a fire cartridge into her gun.

Lucca: What if I told you I could forge this scrap metal into better weapons?

Kyle: Ha! The art of blacksmithing is long lost little girl.

Lucca walks over and grabs a large piece of scrap, she begins to forge a blade out of it using the fire and her hammer, we cut to her dropping the crude sword in front of Kyle.

Lucca: Now, if you let my friend here have one piece of scrap metal for a sword, I will make all sorts of weapons for your people. If not, we will be on our way.

Kyle picks up the sword and runs his fingers down the blade, he is impressed by the craftsmanship and nods his head, before walking away. Lucca gets to work.

Meanwhile Marle and Crono are sitting on some pipes, chatting.

Marle: You know, being here actually made me appreciate home. Its just so sad, how did this happen? Was it pollution? Was it War? If it was war I will do everything in my power to prevent Daddy from waging war with Poore.

Crono agrees, he then looks to his left for a second at a rat, the rat scuttles away. Marle is suddenly closer to him than before.

Marle: You know, throughout this entire ordeal I knew I was going to be okay because you were by my side. I am sure my father would love you as a son when we get things sorted out. There is nothing Daddy respects more than a man who can wield a blade, in his heyday he was top of his class in swordplay. Man am I tired, maybe we should get some sleep? We still have those rags we found in the wasteland.

Marle makes a bed out of the rags they found and she lays down in it, Crono lays down next to her and they fall asleep. Meanwhile Lucca is working on an arsenal for the patrons of the Trann Dome. John approaches her.

John: Hmm, fine craftsmanship especially given the materials. However, you are at a loss.

Lucca: How so?

John: Half the things out there aren’t exactly affected by swords, or guns. We merely use these weapons to fend them off. Those mutants out there are nearly impossible to kill, last time we managed to kill one it injured 3 of our men, paralyzed one and killed 5 more. A word of advice, they are scared of fire, in fact they are mortified by it. I guess all the chemicals in their bodies are flammable, because once a guy threw his cigarette at one and it burst into flames. The thing ran into the ocean to put itself out, where the powerful tide took it away, oh and it was still burning. So whatever you plan to do, fire is your friend.

Lucca checks her belt, there is 10 Flame Cartridges left.

Lucca: There is no shortage of friends here.

John looks at Lucca’s belt.

John: I have the feeling you aren’t from around here Lucca. I mean, your weapons are well forged, you have a gun that isn’t rusted. You know things, things nobody else knows. So tell me, your from the future aren’t you?

Lucca smiles.

Lucca: No, I am from the past. The Year 1000 AD, I figure its fine to tell you because well, there is no cause and effect here.

John: Hmph, you are lucky to live in a time before the Big Fire happened.

Lucca: Big Fire?

John: That wonderland you saw outside? Its because of the Big Fire in 1999. I don’t know what caused it, as I only have read pieces of journals that were sealed in scrapped cars. All I know is a big hole ripped in the middle of the world, and we were plagued by firestorms and massive earthquakes. I also read somewhere that these quakes caused the Chemical Weapons plant in to crumble, washing 1000s of harmful chemicals into the water, which combined with the radiation from the nuclear weapons that accidentally deployed. Volcanoes erupted, the toxic water flooded cities, the atmosphere was clouded up with toxins and smoke, blocking the sun. Find a way to stop the Big Fire or don’t even bother trying to help us. Because, these swords are WORTHLESS TO US!

John throws a sword across the room.

Lucca: Look, I don’t know how to stop this Big Fire, if it was a natural disaster then there may be nothing I can do to prevent it.

John: Hmph.

Lucca: If I can learn more about the Big Fire, maybe just maybe I can look into stopping it.

John: I have always hoped to make it to the Arris Dome, that’s where the surveillance database is, a wanderer came in here once. Pale white, nonsensical and such, I assumed that he had narrowly escaped death. No, he watched the stuff on the database. I don’t know what he saw, but he threw himself into the ocean a few days later. I could never find enough volunteers to come with me; nobody wants to go through Lab 16. Awhile ago a man named Doan took half of the Trann Domes inhabitants and led them through it, my mother and sister included. We received a radio transmission a few weeks later stating that they made it, but the loss was tremendous. Doan was hoping to go to the Proto Dome, where much of the pre-fire technology is rumored to remain untouched, and recently we have been detecting large energy signatures from it.

Lucca: Hmm, I see. Well I guess I know my next stop.

John: Your serious? I mean getting to the Arris Dome is one thing, but a gang of psychotic robots guard the remains of Lab 32, a guy named Johnny B. will rob you of all your goods and send you either under the bridge or back where you came, unarmed.

Lucca: Technology is on my side, I just need to avoid the things that knocked me out before.

John pulls out his Shock Baton

John: Electricity, their molecular structure can’t handle it, well that’s what Dad says. If I touch them with this thing they burst, they also lose the ability to corrode you on contact.

Lucca: Well, I guess if I can find source of power in the wreckage outside I can rig some sort of shock device.

John hands the stun baton to Lucca

John: Take it, but promise me you will do anything in your power to stop the Big Fire.
Lucca: I will John. I will.

John: Goodnight Lucca.

John leaves the room and Lucca continues with her work, she looks at a sword she made, then at the shock baton.

It is morning, the darkness is slightly brightened to grey, the dust seems to have settled for now and the monsters have retreated back into the wrecked cities. We see the rats claiming the bodies of those who did not survive the storm.

Kyle: Well, I hear you kids are planning to go to the Arris dome, well if you make it send us a transmission. I don’t understand why you don’t just stay here, you may be able to fight the mutants, but the Acid Phantoms will be your downfall.

Lucca pulls out a sword and hands it to Crono. Crono tests the weight, runs his finger across the blade and gives a thumbs up.

Lucca: Push the button on the hilt and touch the tip of the blade to the metal floor.

Crono does just that, and we hear the sound of small electric bolt, a few of the barefoot patrons jump as they got a small electric shock from the bolt.

Lucca: Those Acid Phantoms aren’t going to be a problem anymore, I managed to modify John’s shock baton so that it can charge its electric power, the longer Crono holds the button down the more powerful the electric shock. Also, I found a few batteries in some of the electronics around here I used some to increase the efficiency of Crono’s sword and I was able to make a few things work around here. It turns out that this place was merely running on emergency power supply, that power supply was about to die out, when that power died all the doors would have opened up and stayed open, letting whatever in. I recharged the emergency power supply, but we must get to the Arris Dome soon in case their power supply is nearing its end too.

Kyle: We thank you for everything you have done, just remember to cross Lab 16 with caution, and stay out of there at night.

Marle: Don’t thank us, we should be thanking you. If your son didn’t save us we would have certainly perished in that storm. 

John enters the room.

John: Well, I guess we could do some trading with you before you go, even though you pretty much saved all of our lives.

Kyle: Yes, John has lots of medicine that he has scrounged from the wastelands, of course we have no food to give you, but if you feel weak the Enertron will recharge you, but you will feel no relief of hunger pains. I am sure you have grown as numb to it as we have.

Lucca pulls out a handful of gold coins.

Lucca: We could use some tonic, in case one of us is terribly injured.

John pulls out 4 bottles of tonic, he takes the gold coins.

John: What the hell are these? Oh, there gold so I guess they have value to us, we could throw them into the Sentry Guns or use them to fix the wiring. Here you go.

Lucca hugs John, as does Marle, Crono shakes his hand and the 3 bid farewell to the inhabitants of the Trann Dome, we cut the to door slamming shut and we see the wasteland. Wind is minimal, the dust has settled and the hail has ceased. The only thing happening with the weather is the slight snowfall.

Marle: Well this is nice…

Lucca and Crono shoot Marle a dirty look.

Marle: What? I mean, compared to last night it is. All the hail has stopped, the dust isn’t clogging up my windpipe, and there isn’t a mutant grabbing at my hair. Just snow, like our winter festival.

Lucca: Well, in comparison to last night I guess your right…lets get to the Arris Dome, I don’t know how much time we have left until nightfall. It could be 30 minutes or it could be 5 hours. Either way lets Atleast try to make it to the Bangor Dome.


The 3 travel the wastes, the air is more clear and we can see much more of the world. Bones everywhere, people who have been handcuffed to light posts that only recently perished.

Lucca: What sick being would have done this?

Marle: I don’t know, but this poor man.

The gang continues to traverse the wastes. More post apocalyptic imagery. Then they reach Lab 16.

Lucca: Lab 16…

Marle: How are we going to do this?

Lucca: Carefully, quietly and quickly. I think the sun is starting to go down, of course its hard to tell with all this dust.

Is there any documented history in Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers or Chrono Cross that shows what happened in the other centuries? I mean I know after the year 1000 Poore presumably destroyed Guardia. We also saw a huge technological advancement in the year 1999 and the world looked relatively untouched..until Lavos came. Do you think that there were nuclear weapons in 1999? Which may have contributed to the mutants in 2300.

Submissions / Chrono Trigger: Legacy of the Masamune (Working title)
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:25:12 pm »
This is a very rough draft of a Chrono Trigger screenplay. This is how I would like it to be if Hollywood got a hold of it. I cast a number of British and American Actors (mostly british for the middle ages) It's a long shot that something like this will ever be made. It spans 3 movies, movie 1 covers all the events from the beginning to when Frog gets the Masamune or the battle with Magus, I havent decided yet. The 3rd movie will cover either from the battle with magus or when the group returns to the Prehistoric Era to Crono's death and the 3rd movie will span from Crono's death to the end. Id like to hear your judgements and such.

A note: Crono will not speak, if this project was to come to fruition I would get an unknown Mime actor to portray him, so without further ado, here is Chrono Trigger: Legacy of the Masamune in a few minutes

Characters, Plot, and Themes / anybody else not care for Chrono Cross?
« on: December 16, 2011, 01:27:12 am »
I'm sorry to sound like a douche. but I really do not like Chrono Cross. I hope I'm not the only one on the site to feel this way. I am still going to play through the rest of the game but it just seems no matter how hard i try to like it, I just cant. The only characters i like are Guile, Kid and Harle. Serge is kind of cool, but upon playing this I just spent time looking for references to Trigger and cameos.

My main problem is Chrono Trigger left me wanting more of the original characters. Cross added new characters, less likable ones in my opinion. Story wise its fine so far. I'm only about a third into it.

The combat system i admit is fine, the whole red blue green zone thing is innovative, yet confusing. It took me awhile to get a hang of.

I don't think its a bad game, I just don't think its a good follow up. Hopefully if square ever makes another Chrono game they will do a follow up to the other characters leading into Chrono Cross (like crimson echoes) or do an alternate continuity (like my idea for fan fiction). Because Cross just seems like a disappointment. I will continue to play it but i have the feeling that im not gonna enjoy it that much. Just stating my opinion lol.

Fan Fiction / Chrono Fusion
« on: December 16, 2011, 12:45:35 am »
I am currently working on a fan fiction/ possible pitch called "Chrono Fusion"

The game takes place in an alternate reality where Daltons plan to take over Guardia failed and turned into a 600 year war. The cause of this reality is Lucca, in this timeline she decides to go foward in time to see the fate of Guardia. After seeing that her and her friends get killed after just 5 years, she decides to try and give Guardia a fighting chance. She decides to abandon her plans to make an orphanage and start making more powerful weapons for the Guardia military thus preventing the death of her friends. However the king is still slain on the first attempt of capturing the castle. Marle and Crono inherit the Kingdom of Guardia. Lucca finds a baby (Kid) but decides she has no time to take care of it, so she takes her to the
year 2300 to find Robo, She sees the War has torn the world apart but the people are in the safety of the domes. She meets a seemingly kind man named Professor Schmidt who takes care of the worlds children. At first he is nice, caring leader of the world. But then he realizes who Lucca is. Turns out before he reprogrammed Robo to be a slave, His adventures with Lucca is all he talked about. Schmidt mistook this as a sign of Robot Senility and simply reprogrammed him. However when Schmidt finds out it was all true, he demands Lucca show him the ways of time travel. So that he may go back in time and stop the uprising of his opressed people. She declines.

Lucca is forced to stop the revolution, She was being escorted by Robo and Atropos to the Truce Dome. (After battling through the gangs of Raiders of course) It is there she sees the true horrors of Schmidt's rule. The patrons of the dome were forced to mine a rare radioactive metal, many would simply die from exhaustion. Some were horribly mutated and were deported to the island of Choras. Lucca changes her mind and decides to help the people overthrow Professor Schmidt. And after she reprograms Robo the Professor is captured and Exiled to Choras, where he was presumably killed by monsters.

She leaves the baby in the care of the locals and is on her way back, Upon arrival at home she dismantles the Epoch and swears to never tamper with time again.

20 years later, the Poore army makes it to the castle again, when the soldiers reach the room of Marle and Crono's daughter Tempora they are surprised. Suddenly the child begins crying and a Huge gate opens up and sucks up all of the soldiers, and most of the castle, aswell as Tempora. Marle and Crono mourn the loss of their child. While Lucca begins to investigate. 

In the year 1602, the final battle of Guardia begins. Poore's army is closing in. Poore is put under the rule of Emperor Desmond; A sadistic sorcerer and underling of Dalton. It is up to the last soldiers to try and defend the castle. Ronald and Lucian (two brothers and descendants of Lucca) are leading the frontlines. Lucian is a mere strongman, whereas Ronald is a user of Fire Magic. Lucian leads the Tank Brigade against towards Poore's Castle while Ronald leads the foot soldiers in the battle field. Ronald uses a Rifle/Bayonet as a weapon, and wields very powerful fire techs. You must navigate him through waves of powerful enemies know as "Tech-Soldiers and Tech Warriors" who have a bullet proof armor. Ronald then tells his men that they must use the bayonets. After that you reach a strange hooded figure, who is watching the battle. He then gets into a large mech suit and fights Ronald, after this boss is defeated the cut-scenes continue. The Suit is about to break down but the Hooded Figure attempts to deal a final blow but is destroyed by Lucian's Tank brigade. Lucian is about to execute the hooded figure, but reveals that he has defected to Poore's army to help Dalton create the perfect utopia. Lucian asks Ronald to join him, but Ronald refuses and is shot by his brother, the scene cuts out with Poore's army finally conquering Guardia and its province; Truce.

Meanwhile in the year 12010 Magus has given up on finding Schala and decides to watch over the Last Village. Taking the name Janus and leaving his violent past behind him. The villagers refer to him as Sage Janus and listen to his every word. He brought the Enchanted and Non-Enchanted together, he trained them in magic and weapon combat respectively. One day a villager named Nathan expresses concern after a big blue thing in the sky opens up. Janus goes to his hut and grabs his Scythe and Book of spells, but his wife Rosa scolds him for grabbing the book, saying that she fears he will go back to his old ways. Janus decides to leave the book and only use the less lethal spells. Magus travels northwest and finds Dalton and a crew salvaging the wrecked remains of the Black Omen. Dalton sends his reptite bodyguard Reptis to dispose of him, Janus puts up a good fight and is about to execute the Reptite, when suddenly Schala appears. Janus tries to approach her but is blasted away by her. Dalton says that a friend from the future has turned her into his loyal dark bride, and that she is completely under his control, Janus passes out. He wakes up and sees his village is in ruins. People are fleeing while Rosa fights off waves of tech soldiers. She eventually sacrifices herself to block missile from a group of villagers, she makes a huge magic barrier but is still killed. Janus weeps over his fallen wife, before he goes into whats left of his hut and grabs his old garb. "Janus is gone, call me Magus..." the reborn Magus battles the Mech Suit and destroys it, sending Dalton's forces back into the gate. Magus finds his group to the north and tells Nathan that he is leaving forever. Nathan and his group heckle and insult him, calling him a coward. Nathan then decides that relying on the enchanted ones got them in this mess. So all of the Enchanted ones are banished into the cold. They are led by a woman named Medina, and they decide to travel east. Nathan then decides that he will make this into a kingdom, and declares himself king. He names it the kingdom of Guardia after his last name. He then goes into his new tent and reveals that he has the royal pendant, and it begins to levitate in his hand. Nathan is Enchanted himself.

Meanwhile Magus enters a gate and ends up in the Prehistoric times. Ioka village is fighting off the last of the reptites, who are dying from the cold. Ayla and Kino have a child, who they named Crono to honor the present day Crono who helped them. Magus tells Ayla whats going on and then she and Kino (who uses a club as a weapon) go with him after a gate appears over the Giants Claw. After sneaking in and fighting a Baby Tyrano they see the new leader of the Reptites; Azalo, Son of Azala. Dalton and the hooded figure are seen thanking him for lending them Reptis. and is told that he and his race are to live on in the new world that they are creating. Ayla, Kino and Magus confront the three. Azalo is prepared to destroy them, but is stopped by Dalton who says "Leave the blue haired one" So Azala just focuses on Ayla and Kino. Kino sacrifices himself to let Ayla escape. Magus is forced to drag Ayla out. the next day the Giants Claw is protected by a huge barrier. So they decide to go to the year 1000 to find Crono and the rest. They find Lucca and hear her story. They find out that Lucca smuggled Robo to the present time, and then Magus Lucca and Robo go to find Crono, who has been captured by Poore's army. They go to the castle to grab his Rainbow Sword, and they leave Ayla to protect Marle. Crono is about to be executed by the Tech Warriors, but is rescued by Magus, Lucca and Robo. He uses the sword to stop the Tech Warriors, but is then confronted by the Hooded Figure. Who Reveals himself. It is none other than Professor Schmidt! He is clad in a new battle armor and engages in battle with the group. Lucca and Magus attempt to hit him with fire, but he absorbs the magical essence with a gauntlet. Crono tries to strike him down, but Schmidt breaks the Rainbow sword to pieces and nearly kills Crono, But he is stopped by Magus. Who overloads his battle armor with Dark Matter. Magus tells the three to run and continues attacking with Dark Matter. Schmidt decides to retreat into a gate, but is tackled by Magus who ends up in Dalton's base with him. His base is located in a time pocket, where he will never age. Dalton reveals his team called the Time Stoppers. the team is comprised of Dalton, Schmidt, Emperor Desmond, Reptis, Lucian, Schala and Flea. New members will be added but for now that's all. Magus is put under control by Schmidt via a device that gets shot into him. Dalton reveals that he wishes to fuse all of their time periods together, each land mass will be connected by a chain. Dalton will rule supreme and never die, he will also be granted god like powers by the new and improved Mammon Machine.

Thats all for now.  this is merely a summary of plot and events. to see if people hate it or not, I will be posting a more refined script.  This is an alternate sequel to Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross never happened in this reality. This will also lead into more sequels with the original and new cast. More Time Periods and more epic chrono story.
